The Peoria Convention Gives the
Project a Boost---A Harmonious
Meeting, from which Good Results
Must Come.
The Peoria waterway convention has
adjourned, and the Rock Island. Moline
and Davenport delegates have returned
home fully satisfied that the Hennepin
canal, the interests of which they went
to guard, was by no means shabbily
treated; on the contrary it received a
handsome and influential endorsement.
The convention realized the fondest
hopes of all elements composing it, by
its harmony, its emphatic expression, its
business,like expedition. and above all,
its freedom from jobbery. Though
influence was brought to bear in the in
terests of personal and individual ad
vancement by certain of the delegates
from Cook. it was speedily and most eff
fectually squelched.
Out of such convention good results
must eventually come. There was moth
ing of the narrow or local spirit dis
played in the tone of the resolutions.
On the other hand, the scope of the rec
concentrations were broad, practical,
comprehensive and considerable OF the
best interests of the state, the govern
ment and all affected by the Illinois
waterway improvements. considered and
advocated.
There were two clauses in the resolu>
tons adopted, in which the delegates for
the three cities rejoiced. First and above
all was the one concerning the Hennepn
canal, and it reads:
That we cordially indorse the proposed
canal connecting Lake Michigan with the
Upper Mississippi river via Hennepln to
said river at or near Rock Island, as d
national undertaking of great impor-
lance to producers in the west and ship
pers in the east, and earnestly commend
it to congress anu the people of the
United States as national waterway to
be promptly acted upon.
Another clause, one however, that the
local delegates were not so much instru.
mental in framing but one to which they
lent their cordial support. and one that
this entire community and all other river
towns will endorse. was this:
| That this convention earnestly recon-
mend the improvement by the genera
government, of the United States of the
Mississippi river and all its navigable tri
butaries, including connections with th'
northern lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, III
the interest of commerce as well a
national defense.
Altogether the local delegates hav
reason to be proud of their accomplish
ments in this important convention.

have made San Jose dried fruits famous
This article makes particular allusion to
the firm of Geo. A. Fleming & Co. which
has its chief distributing depot in Rock
Island and warehouses at Chicago and
San Francisco as well as at San Jose, and
cut of the packing and distributing de-

to this paper, Fleming Bros. have ex-
tensive drying works at Williams and
Campbel's Station, where they employ
500 to 600 hands. and handle an enor-
nous quantity of fresh fruits.
Fleming Bros. distributing depot in
Rock Island is one of the most important
factors in their immense and now widely
known industry. The building is located
on second avenue near the government
bridge. Fifty hands, mostly girls, are
employed, and 1900 twenty five pound
boxes of dried fruits disposed of each
day. Prunes constitute the principal
fruit handled just now, and the work at
the Rock Island depot consists of steam>
ing drying, asserting and packing. Elem

activity that may be seen there daily. Il
